In this talk we show how Teichmüller curves can be used to compute
quantum invariants of certain Pseudo-Anasov mapping tori. This involves
computing monodromy of the Hitchin connection along closed geodesics of
the Teichmüller curve using iterated integrals. We will mainly focus on
the well known Teichmüller curve generated by a pair of regular
pentagons. This is joint work with J. E. Andersen.
